IMPROVED KITCHEN-TABLE.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same,

To all lwhom it may conce/ru Be it known that I, FERDINAND EHRHARDT, ofthe city of Washington, District fGolumbia, have invented new and useful Improvements in Kitchen-Tables, with dough-trough, pie-board, chopping-block, and ironingv boards, combined; and I do hereby declare the following to be, an exact description thereof, reference being had to the' accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure l represents a frontview of the table, with the dough-trough, pie-board, the chopping-block, and the ironing-boards underneath.

-Figure 2 is an end view of the same.V

Figure 3 exhibits the ironing-boards drawn ont and hooked to lthe endhof the table.

Figure 4 is-an under-side view of' the ironing-boards.

Figure 5 shows the chopping-block as attached to the pie-board.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction of a kitchen-table with dough-trough, pie-board, chopping-block, and ironing-boards, when combined and arranged as herein described.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed. to describe its construction and arrangement, as follows:

A represents a view ofthe table with hoisted.

The oblong-shaped dough-trough C, shown at fig. 1, occupies nearly the one-half of the inside of the t-able. i

The pie-board D rests upon the top of the table, and fits into' a ledge tightly.

At the rear of the pie-board is a space or chamber, E, intended for a rolling-pin, G, chopping-knives H,

nena B *Myanmmw/few and other small kitchenlut-ensils, to be laid by care` fully.

To the under side ofthe pie-board D, the choppingv block J is firmly fastened, and when required to be used, the pie-board is reversed, bottom side up, as seen at tig 5.

rlhe ironing-boards K and L, when not in use, rest under the table A, upon two brackets,.M M, attached,

one to each hind leg of the table, and upon a centre hook, N, pivoted to the table.

The legs P of the long' board K are folded up'against the under side of the board, and held by a hinge, R, and tnrnbuekle S,'with the smaller board, or sleeveironing hoard L, resting between the legs lP, and held to the upper-board K by a pivot, T, as shown at iig. 4; but when the ironing-boards K and L are to be used, they are drawn out from under the table A, and attached by hooks and eyes V V, andV the legs P resting upon the door, secured by hook and eye W, and the sleeve-board L turned outward, when required, as shown at fig. 3.

I do not claim a table with a dough-trough, nor a table with ironing-boards attached, as they have been used before; but g What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The improvements in kitchen-tables, with dought-rough C, pie-board l), chopping-block J, and ironingboards K and L, when constructed and arranged as herein described and `for thepurposes set forth.

FERDINAND EHRHARD'I.
